    Default "Sterilizing" New Plants

    I am going to add some hardy plants to my discus BB tank (anubias, swords, crypts).

    What is the best way to sterilize them before putting them in?

    I was thinking of doing a 3 minute dip in diluted bleach water, then a good goood good rinse to wash out the bleach.

    Thoughts? Suggestions???
